MAC MINERALIZE SKINFINISH BLUSH DUOS

M·A·C makes the next move with Grand Duos: Mineralize Blush with a marbleized mélange on one side, and a complementary mono-shade on the other. A sophisticated but simple new way to get your vital minerals!

Soft-shimmer, super-shine pearl in a pretty tri-colour veining to enhance and glorify cheekbones, followed with the pop and dimension of solid colour shimmer without an overly-frosted look. The 188 Small Duo Fibre Face Brush makes the transition magnificent.
MSF Blush Duos - (LE) ($22.50 USD ) This release date for this collection in the US is March 12th.

Mineralize Blush (Duo)
  • Moon River Shade: Blue pink mélange / pale yellow pink  
  • Light Over Dark Shade: Orange yellow mélange / deep brown  
  • Love Rock Shade: Gold violet mélange / bright blue pink  
  • Grand Duo Shade: Copper pink mélange / plum  
  • Earth To Earth Shade: Purple bronze mélange / yellow  
  • Intenso Shade: Pink gold mélange / Terracotta rose  
  • Hot Planet Shade: Copper yellow mélange / midtone plum
I'm so excited about this collection because the colors look so amazing and vibrant. I can't wait to try them out and see if they have a good color payoff as well! I can see myself using these duos as a blusher, or as a highlighter or even as an eyeshadow color too! With so many uses for all of the duos I might have to buy the whole collection!! Check back and see what I get and let me know if you purchase anything.

BENEFIT CREASELESS CREAM SHADOWLINER

Benefit Cosmetics: Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner

Hello my lovelies!

Recently, I was going through my make-up collection looking to see if I could find any hidden treasures that I had long forgotten about. One such find was Benefit's creaseless cream shadowliner which was stashed under a ton of other junk I would rather not ever use again. Why such the negativity?? Skinny jeans.. need I say more (Read my review here). In the deep recesses of this makeup drawer I found two creaseless cream shadowliners in "bunny hop Lana" and "pre-nup Betty" unused and still in their origianl packaging. I believe I had received them as a beauty bonus from Sephora a while back. I guess that should have been my first clue that maybe there was a reason that these products were given away for free..

Anyway I decided to see if I could find an alternative use for them and this is what I came up with:





Yes, I am using them as a highlight and as a blush color for my cheeks and face. The creamy texture of this product gives your face such a nice glow that I am really loving the results!!! So go through your stash and see if you can find any hidden gems. You may find your HG (holy grail) product right there hidden in your own makeup stash!
